I wanted to know if rclone can somehow copy a directory structure from my google drive (e.g : TVS/S01/fileA) to another remote drive without copying the actual file itself(fileA). So just the "skeleton copy". If not, maybe it's possible in the future?
The xcopy solution for Windows is probably the faster one, so go with that if you are using mounts. For an alternative solution, using rclone mkdir without mounts, you could utilize PowerShell with something like this:
(Several ways to write powershell code achieving the same thing, can be made shorter by using the shortcuts such as % for ForEach-Object and ? for Where-Object, select for Select-Object etc. With PowerShell Core installed, you could probably use it on Linux as well.)
Thanks Everyone for the helpful suggestions. I'd taken note of all your feedbacks, appreciate it
I ended up using rsync utility to do this and it works really fast.
rsync -a -f"+ */" -f"- *" "$source" "$target"
